Exporting Large Assemblies as STEP Files

You can export large SOLIDWORKS^® assemblies as STEP files.

In Tools > Options > System Options > Export > STEP, select Export assembly components as separate STEP files (recommended for large assemblies). This option exports assemblies as atomic STEP files. Separate STEP files get created for each component in the assembly.

Search 'Exporting Large Assemblies as STEP Files' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
